Mitosis and Cell Reproduction

Stages of MitosisKaitlyn Randolph

ProphaseChromatin separates into chromosomesNuclear envelope breaks downCentrioles begin to move towards the poles of the cellsSpindles (formed by microtubules) begins to form between the poles

Back

MetaphaseSpindle fibers begin to attach to the centromeres of each pair of sister chromatidsThe sister chromatids move towards and line up in the center of the cellBack

AnaphaseSpindle fibers shorten and separate the sister chromatidsCentromeres separateAt the end of this phase, each pole of the cell will have a complete set of chromosomesBack

Telophase
